Brautomat
The Brautomat is a brewing control for the ESP32 D1 mini. The Brautomat is used in the brewhouse and offers an intuitive, easy-to-use control. During mashing, rest temperatures are reached automatically and the rest times are adhered to. The Brautomat also supports wort boiling and adding hops and ingredients. In the ascending infusion process, the Brautomat can fully automate the mashing process.
Note: This page was automatically translated from the original German documentation. These instructions are constantly being expanded, corrected or improved. Originally only the GGM IDS2 induction hob could be controlled in the Brautomat project. From version 1.48, other hobs can also be connected in relay mode. The instructions describe the functions with a GGM IDS in many places. Only the manual mode is exclusively suitable for the GGM IDS2. All other functions and options are also available for other hobs.
